Thank you for visiting our Kickstarter!

We're a team of two senior Computer Animation majors at Ringling College of Art + Design, and we're mid-production on our thesis film, "In a Heartbeat!" This film is not only a culmination of our four years of education and hard work at the college, but also an expression of a subject that has not been explored in computer animation. It’s a film that deals with a real and personal topic in a very sweet and lighthearted way and we are so excited to be able to share it with you!

Working on this film has been a true labor of love for us both, and we need your help to make it the best it can be. Your donation will enable us to hire an extremely talented composer and sound designer to create a unique, original soundtrack for our film.

COMPOSER FEE: $2200

SOUND DESIGNER FEE: $800

TOTAL: $3000

STRETCH GOAL: an additional $2000 that will help us cover the cost of a live studio ensemble!

We are so grateful for any contribution you can make, be it a donation or simply sharing the project and spreading the word! As tokens of our gratitude, we've assembled exciting packages of rewards including stickers, t-shirts, custom Heart plushies by SquishyHappies, artwork by the film's creators, and more!

Thank you so much! This project is very dear to our hearts, and we can't wait to share it with you!

All our love,

Beth + Esteban
